Episode 210: Life of the Party by Alex Herschlag

Dead Pilots Society is back this month with Life of the Party, a multi-camera workplace comedy from writer Alex Herschlag (Will & Grace, Modern Family, Arrested Development). Multi-camera sitcoms have become a rare breed, which makes this one a special treat.

Life of the Party is a workplace comedy about Neil, a man who suffers from high self-esteem, who takes a job at a party planning business where he becomes the de facto leader of a group of oddball employees and bumps up against Elizabeth, his mercurial, uber-rich, slightly insane boss.

The cast includes Al Madrigal as Neil (comedian, Lopez vs Lopez), Natasha Leggero as Elizabeth/Woman (Another Period), Lucas Hazlett as Tony (Loot, American Princess), Bob Glouberman as Robert (Government Cheese, The Shrink Next Door), Izzy Diaz as Eddie (The Residence), Andrew Lopez as Joe (The Bear, Platonic), Scarlett Strasberg as Ruth (theater, Including Violet), Aaron Abrams as Andrew (Clown in a Cornfield), Olivia Scott Welch as Joan (Fear Street), and Andrew Reich with stage direction.

Plus, we have an exciting announcement for Los Angeles fans! Dead Pilots Society will bring the original cast of Royal Pains together for a live reading of the unaired reboot pilot on December 15th at the Elysian Theater! Tickets will be on sale soon, so keep an eye on social media for details.
